Rihanna wasted no time in 2025 to show exactly why she’s known for her sharp comebacks. On January 1, just hours into the new year, the superstar clapped back at a troll who not only insulted her but also demanded new music.
The exchange took place on Rihanna’s latest Instagram post, where she shared a video of herself celebrating New Year’s Eve with friends. In the video, she excitedly tells the camera, “Y’all, I didn’t drink all year,” with the caption, “New Year, New Me.”
One comment, however, took a different tone. A user wrote, “We want an album forehead,” poking fun at Rihanna’s appearance while also pushing for new music.
Rihanna, never one to hold back, quickly responded, “listen Lorenzo! You ain’t cute enough to be calling me by my black name you dizzy f–k!”
The exchange is typical of Rihanna’s fearless online persona, and fans have come to expect her sassy comebacks. The Barbadian singer hasn’t released an album since Anti in 2016, though she’s hinted at working on new music for years.
She’s also contributed to soundtracks, including the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever film, where her song “Lift Me Up” earned Grammy and Oscar nominations.
Despite teasing new music, Rihanna’s fans are still waiting for the long-anticipated follow-up album. But with responses like this, it’s clear that Rihanna’s sense of humor is as sharp as ever.
